The Blues paid a lot of money for Batshuayi last summer and he had a positive end to the season, which should stand him in good stead this time around.

But it’s still a big ask for him or Morata — whose confidence was hardly helped by missing a penalty in yesterday’s shootout — to replace the goals Costa has scored for Chelsea in the past three years.

I also really don’t understand why they sold Matic.

One, they’ve let him go when Bakayoko is not yet fit. And two, they have let him join a title rival.

Away from Chelsea’s woes, I am no more optimistic about Arsenal’s hopes this season. It’s nice for them that they won yesterday — another trophy following their FA Cup success over the same opposition in May.

But I still don’t think it gives them any advantage, psychological or otherwise, over Chelsea in the league.

And it will hardly stop any criticism that will come towards manager Arsene Wenger and Arsenal if they stutter midway through the season.

One positive I think they can take from the Wembley game is the performance of Alexandre Lacazette.

He looked sharp, his link-up play was good and the ball stuck to him.

The Frenchman will give them something different this season, going in behind, with a bit of pace.

But Lacazette and yesterday’s goalscorer, Sead Kolasinac, are their only two signings this summer.

That is not enough for the Gunners if they want to be challenging for the title, which is ultimately what their supporters want.

It is also going to be interesting to see how the situation regarding Alexis Sanchez plays out. Arsene is adamant that his star man is staying. But if you are the Arsenal board, and you see that a player worth more than £50million could leave for nothing next summer, that must be very hard to take.

Still, even if Sanchez does stay, I don’t see Arsenal winning the league.

They will have their brilliant moments again, as they have had for a long time.

But I don’t see them being able to sustain that for a whole season.

Watching on this summer, it looks like there might have been a power shift from London to Manchester.

We talk about Chelsea and Arsenal not strengthening enough but last season’s second-placed side Tottenham have not signed anyone yet.

They fell short last year yet they have done nothing to try to rectify that.

Meanwhile, both Manchester United and Manchester City have splashed out millions to try to wrestle the title back.

City hired Pep Guardiola to win the Champions League and the Premier League, so he has to claim some silverware this season.

And I think they will be battling it out with United for the title come May.
